PhpStorm 6 Gives You More Tools to Develop Smarter, Not Harder

JetBrains upgrades its professional PHP IDE to enhance developer productivity
with a
mix
of powerful tools like Composer, REST client, code rearranger, re-worked HTML structure
view, and promoting
other best practices for PHP development

March 12, 2013

Prague, Czech Republic, March 12, 2013 — JetBrains, the creators
of
intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools for software developers, have announced the
general availability
of PhpStorm 6, the new major release of their advanced PHP IDE.

With this release, JetBrains invites all PHP developers to redefine their productivity
and adopt the best
technologies available today to quickly produce neat and well-tested code. It provides
more code inspections,
smarter code completion, better runtime error prevention, new automated refactorings,
code (re)arranger,
re-worked HTML structure view, smarter namespace handling, and other code-centric
enhancements.
It also allows for more routine tasks to be performed right from the IDE, such as
working with the database,
managing dependencies with Composer, and testing RESTful web services with built-in REST
client.

"Once your project outgrows the
'quick hacking' phase, it all boils down to the cost of making changes while maintaining
code quality.
That's why it's important to develop smarter, not harder—with good frameworks,
best practices and smart IDEs,"
— said Alexey Gopachenko, PhpStorm project lead.
"We do our best to make sure PhpStorm is up to the task. Whether you're an
experienced developer or new
to PHP, version 6 has what it takes to help you be more productive at both server-side
and
front-end web development."
